71 - Amyloid-beta mediated toxicity: Alzheimer's Disease September 2020

This episode, hosted by Jacques, explores many facets of amyloid-beta mediated toxicity. First, we run through the structure-toxicity relationships of mutant amyloid-beta. Second, we investigate the interaction of amyloid-beta oligomers with membranes and their effect on vesicular trafficking and endocytosis. And lastly, we finish the episode on insights into the effects of amyloid-beta on neurotransmitter systems in AD.
